rotary in protege

phals May-3rd-2007 03:45 PM

shanej18 May-3rd-2007 04:41 PM

BOOSTD 7 May-3rd-2007 05:11 PM

I dont think theres enough room for all the vaccum lines. for the $- buy a rotary car for a rotary engine.

that turbo was MASSIVE!!!

KevinsProtege5 May-4th-2007 11:19 AM

I want that car so the next time someone says the P5 is cute, i can do a wheelie

kargoboy May-4th-2007 11:55 AM

Nice.

straydoginc May-4th-2007 01:27 PM

i dunno it thats still classified as a P5... its RWD for 1. That turbo is crazy huge though.

I don't plan on selling my Protege5 when I get my next car.. and I know what my project will be :)

i'll settle for a single turbo 13b though :D

aMaff May-17th-2007 09:49 PM

wewt! First post on here since I joined forever ago.

Many of y'all probably know me.

Anyway, Kansei, @ the last autox I went to, there was an X-Prepared miata with a bridgeported, carbed 13b. Dude, that thing was a beast.
